adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 74 -169
RESOLUTION REGARDING PROPOSED SIGNERY FOR SPECULATIVE
INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS ABUTTING 69TH AVENUE NORTH
WHEREAS, site and building plan approvals for the speculative industrial
buildings at 6800, 6820, and 6840 Shingle Creek Parkway stipulate that no
signery shall be permitted on the 69th Avenue North side of said buildings unless
expressly approved by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, said stipulations were made in consideration of the site
aesthetics and impact upon the residential properties to the north; and
WHEREAS, none of said buildings has access onto 69th Avenue North,
thus diminishing the need for identification signery visible from 69th Avenue
North; and
WHEREAS, the developer submitted a proposal for uniform signery on the
north walls of said buildings, the signery consisting of 16 inch high lettering
located from 10 to 12 feet above grade; to be potentially available to each
tenant having space facing said roadway, and visible beyond the premises; and
WHEREAS, the proposed signery was reviewed by the Planning Commission
on September 19, 1974, and by the City Council on September 23, 1974;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center:
1 That the wall signery proposed for the speculative industrial
buildings abutting 69th Avenue North and reviewed on
September 23, 1974, is deemed unacceptable and inconsistent
with the intent for such signery, as established by the Council
relative to plan approvals for said buildings;
2. That said signery is not acceptable due to height, size and
the diminished need for identification signs visible off the
premises, since no access is available from 69th Avenue
North;
3. That appropriate signery would be of such uniform design so as
to serve as identification of tenant areas from the premises,
would not exceed 5 feet above building floor grade, and would
not be oriented towards the roadway or properties in the
neighborhood adjacent to the premises, subject to City review
and approval.
